Siblings Henry and Hitty Macy have inherited a fortune from their grandmother, Lillian Coffin, but it comes with certain conditions and stipulations. They must each marry a Quaker in good standing in the eyes of the community, and if they choose to give up their fortunes, the inheritance goes to the thieving business partner of their father's.
They each attempt to satisfy the will's conditions, but times are changing, and fulfilling their grandmother's wishes is a lot more difficult than either of the could have imagined.
Any book Suzanne Woods Fisher writes is worth the read, but this book and this series held a special appeal to me with the historical value and Quaker roots of its people. It's not often that I can weave myself into a story - I am more of an observer from the outside looking in - but this author has a way of pulling you into the story and not letting you leave, long after the tale has been told. This is the kind of book that will have you pondering its unread mysteries while you go about your day, and you simply cannot wait to get back to it and find out what the answers are. If you have limited time to read or don't read often, make time for this book and series. It will stay with you for the rest of your life.
This book was provided by the publisher for free in exchange for an honest review.
